It is now possible to point to a specific time in a youtube video : it’s called deep linking. It’s great news, I’ve been using viddler for that reason because it enable anyone to split a video and let people see only the part they are interested in. 

To specify a point, append a tag to the end of your video link with the following syntax: “#t=1m45s” 

Here is an example with one my my video. I’ve put the deeplink on 0m56 so it end up on one of my favuorite photo. Great news

Here is a quote from an article written by Alessandra Stanley in the New York Times:

[the crisis] is confirming the worst fears of Gen-Y, namely that our baby boomer parents are leaving us a world convulsed by war, drowning in debt and melting down under global warming”.

Heroes” gives its fans cathartic validation: You inherited a screwed-up world, and it’s not your fault.

This idea was well formulated back in 2006 in a french book called “Nos enfants nous hairons” (Our child will hate us). It has since found a lot of proof of concept.

The main phrase of heroes is : “Save the cheerleader, save the world.”

So one quick question in the middle of the meltdown :

Is capitalism Gen Y cheerleader ??
